MORAGA, CA - Sunday's game between Northern Illinois and St. Mary's College fell victim to mother nature and was cancelled because of rain. There will be no makeup of the contest.
The teams began the Sunday afternoon contest and reached the bottom of third inning before play was halted. Rain soaked the field and made conditions unplayable.
NIU, 4-7 on the season, will resume their spring trip by returning to action Monday night at San Jose State. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. local time/8 p.m. central with Matt Jernstad scheduled to make his first start of the season. Live stats will be available through the baseball schedule page on www.niuhuskies.com.
